i use my english name in school because all of my legal documents are under my legal-english name. i use my english name for simplicities sake. if a piece of paper has my hebrew name, i can blame it on a typo. but to have to change all my legal papers to my hebrew name? forget it. i’m not ashamed of my hebrew name, CH”V. some of my non-jewish classmates noticed my email comes up as my hebrew name. so in emails they call me my hebrew name but f2f they use my english name.
